The complexity of software doesn't preclude standardized "building codes." Obviously the codes would have to be just as complex, but software could be used to check that those codes are met. It wouldn't be perfect, but current building codes for physical buildings also have their flaws (every building [vs design] needs to be physically inspected by a person [much easier to exploit than a machine]).
